Quality not
Quantity! The TBA-SA was not established to eliminate other
sanctioning bodies. As fast as Muay Thai is growing, there is more
then enough fighters and events for multiple sanctioning bodies. We
are here to support the TBA-USA and Muay Thai, not FCR, MMA, or even IR.
Mr. Pete Peterson, the president of the TBA-SA, has over 15 years of event
experience, having started promoting events in IL in 1993. Pam
Peterson, TBA-SA office manager, has over 20 years of event planning
experience. The other directors of the TBA-SA all are certified instructors
under Ajarn Chai, and have extensive experience with running a gym, training
fighters, and promoting events. The TBA-SA focuses on Muay Thai
exclusively. By combining these elements, it allows the TBA-SA to host
a truly professionally ran Muay Thai tournament along with sanctioning Muay
Thai events to ensure professionalism and fighter's safety.
The Muay Thai Classic is a WORLD tournament. We are working on
establishing classifications so all fighters, no matter which country or
state they come from, will know they are all fighting within their same
experience levels. Because the classifications vary greatly from one
country (and state!) to the next, this may take some time, but we are
confident that once this is done, we will truly have a "World" event and not
just confined to North America.
